Books by D. R. Haskin

Dick Haskin is the great, great grandson of Samuel J. Haskin, who was Great Grandpa Cyrus Hoyt Carver's neighbor in Nebraska. They both came to Nebraska from Wisconsin along with a group of other settlers, and in subsequent generations the Carvers and Haskins are tied together via the Hubbard clan. (We conjecture there may have been some Haskin relationships up the line as well, but we haven't been able to pin them down. Conjecture is fun, though.)

Dick lives on the Haskin homestead and has written some books about the history of the area. Cyrus Carver's family is mentioned occasionally in these books. (They build caskets and host dances.) Carver and Hubbard/Haskin family reunions are held on Dick's property (he has set up a campground) and at these reunions he gives tours of where the Carver dugouts and property used to be, the creek, the cemetery, location of the store, and so forth.
